Old Sandwich Road has long been a favorite of mine in southeastern Massachusetts - whatever the season. After the snowplows cleared the mostly unpaved road, I wandered along to see what I could see. These first four images are in full color, straight out of camera, with no other post-processing.
Definitely a winter wonderland. Snow is nature's original version of time-release rain - it melts slowly and seeps into the ground like a time-release aspirin into the bloodstream.
These final three images I manipulated by eliminating all color and increasing the contrast and brightness until the image screamed, "enough already."
As a cousin has astutely observed, "after the first day I am generally 'over' the beauty and ready for it to be gone." I have to agree - but it sure is spectacular when freshly fallen.
Hmmmn, cold, white snow or warm, white sand? - not much of a contest.
Old Sandwich Road - pretty in any season. (Panorama - click on image to view full width.)
